Baby sign language- tries to sign the alphabet



Regarding to bilingual, children between ages 2 to 6 have greater capacity to learn two or more languages. Their brains are considered like “sponge” and are growing rapidly. Research shows that children who learn two languages normally place both languages in the same areas of their brains and are still capable of keeping both languages separated. Also, once children are six or older, their learning ability becomes concrete and that would make learning second language more difficult. (Berger, K., 2009).
Since I discussed primarily on how young children benefit from learning sign language in class, I thought I'd post this as a part of the blog assignment. Hope you enjoy this brief show.
